Noel Murray Los Angeles Times "The Whistler" is primarily a mood piece, relying heavily on deep shadow and rich sound design to spook the audience. But it's a richly imagined film, drawing its eerie power from the depths of male guilt. Sep 5, 2019 Full Review Gaspar Zimerman Clarín To suggest and not show, to create an ominous climate in which it always seems that the worst is about to happen is the film's greatest merit.

Audience Member Good entry into the realm of folk based Latin American supernatural stories. The Texas raised writer director has stated in several interviews that his influences range from the acting style in Ingmar Bergman early films to the mise en scène in Park Chan Wook's body of work which pretty much hints at what is experienced in this film. The Bermudez brothers are primarily telling us a slow burning dual story of human drama that veers into the supernatural for a cathartic climax Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
